My favorite of the variations. And seeing Reilly and Scott bring back such good memories.

I love both of these guys playing so much. Reilly is sorely missed.

Great performance! Four hands seems to suit this piece nicely :-).

Is this not an arrangement of Bruno Seidlhofer?

Allegro Vivace Piano Lol no. Not at all. It was published as open score 4 parts. Someone later demonstrated that the aof was composed for harpishot in mind. having 14 4 voice fugues being playable with two hands is NOT a coincidence. I suggest you read the preface of the Henle Verlag edition of the aof score.

@@ThePrime125 Agreed - although the two mirror fugues alone (when one makes reference to the original score), can be seen, strictly speaking, to require four hands to perform; however they are more frequently performed in a two-handed adaption to fit with the rest of the piece, which is in no way less pleasing to my ears.

@@ThePrime125: While all of that is true, extending the voices to a wider register than is possible with two hands can do wonders to individuate them.
